  The website “https://wordpress.com” is requesting 10 MB of disk space to store “calypso” as a database on your disk. Currently, this website is allowed to use 5 MB of disk space.

  Huh?

  Hi there,

  It is safe to accept that message.

  All websites store data locally on your computer. That helps the website to be faster, as your browser can then load some info directly from your hard drive rather than having to download it from the web.

  Most browsers don’t have a problem with this, but Safari does, and asks for permission when it thinks a website is trying to use more storage than it should. But this is completely normal, Calypso is not going to use up all the space on your hard drive if you give permission.

  Calypso is the name of the My Sites interface on WordPress.com

  Calypso is the name of the My Sites dashboard.
